Just back from a wedding gig from ALD.
Amara Sanctuary is a lovely place for weddings, and Jason the floor manager as well as the rest of the staff seem to enjoy their parts very well. The atmosphere the hotel staff creates, i personally believe, to be as Chiou Yun said, utterly impt even for us musicians. The vibes pass on to the guests and there’s a sense of easy happiness throughout the dinner.
It’s a joy to sing with Jerome. His voice has struck me as deeply charming and his persona such a humble and willing musician. I enjoyed my duets thoroughly w him.
My personal joy in this show is in the duets, but more so in the few songs that condoned improvisation.
I grow to understand how it’s more like something intrinsic in my blood. Inexplicably the values, the phrasings, the beauty and the stories in these standards truly move me. Uncompromised.
